Summer after high school
when we first met
We make out in your Mustang
to Radiohead
And on my eighteen birthday
we got matching tatoos
Used to steal your parents' liquor
and climb to the roof
Talk about our future
like we had a clue
Never plan that one day
I'd be losing you
And in another life
I would be your girl
We keep all our promises,
be us against the world
And in another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were
the one that got away
The one that got away
I was dreaming you were
my Johnny Cash
Never one, we got the other,
we made a pact
Sometimes when I miss you,
I put those records on, whoa
Someone said you had your
tattoo removed
Saw you downtown singing the blues
It's time to face the music,
I'm no longer your muse
And in another life
I would be your girl
We keep all our promises,
be us against the world
And in another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were
the one that got away
The one that got away
The oooooooone,
The oooooooone,
The oooooooone
The one that got away
All these money can't
buy me a time machine, no
Can't replace you
with a million rings, no
I should've told
you what you meant to me, whoa
'Cause now I pay the price
In another life
I would be your girl
We keep all our promises,
be us against the world
And in another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were
the one that got away
The one that got away
The oooooooone,
The oooooooone,
The oooooooone
And in another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were
the one that got away
The one that got away
